One of the most tedious (but critical tasks) for software development teams is updating foundational software. It’s not new feature work, and it doesn’t feel like you’re moving the experience forward. As a result, this work is either dreaded or put off for more exciting work—or…

We’re open-sourcing a multimodal model: Fuyu-8B! Building useful AI agents requires fast foundation models that can see the visual world. Fuyu-8B performs well at standard image understanding benchmarks, but it also can do a bunch of new stuff (below) adept.ai/blog/fuyu-8b

Ghost town Pyramiden: once a busy USSR mining town in the arctic with a library, theatre, canteen, and swimming pool; now abandoned, with a Lenin statue watching over the glaciers in solitude.

Would you hire an engineer who could build beautiful frontend React apps but tries to "sudo cd Desktop"? 😂


Bought a guitar with a touch screen and apps. Given that it has Wi-Fi, speakers, and a microphone, let's see if future software updates will bring a phone app. Can't wait to call my mom from a guitar. 🤔

We’re changing our company name so we can give the full @Square brand to our Seller business. So now we need a name to tie @Square, @CashApp, @TIDAL, and @TBD54566975 together into one. That name is “Block.” Why?

Block is @Square, @CashApp, @spiralbtc, @TIDAL, @TBD54566975, and our foundational teams who support them. We’re here to build simple tools to increase access to the economy. block.xyz

Quarantine daydreaming: so DNA encodes information about how to interpret & replicate itself, like how to assemble proteins (e.g. helicase, primase) required for replication. This is like a writing a C compiler in C. How did the "first DNA sequence" bootstrap?


Wife mailed me my ML study notes from the US, and she declared them as "Notebook". Custom took away my package and sent me a tax bill, thinking it was a laptop. Too complex to deal with government agencies, I tell myself I am paying taxes for importing knowledge. 😂

De-syncing from GMT-7, and entering YDT timezone (Yi Daylight-wasting Time): nighttime is whenever I feel like sleeping and daytime is whenever I want to wake up; each day is of random length and every meal is called brunch! Bye bye humans who follow 24 hour schedules. #Freedom

Recsys 2020 challenge is now concluded! We had 1000+ teams registered and top 3 teams are Nvidia, learner and Wantedly. This is probably first time in a few years that the top performance teams are not even close! Check out the results under recsys-twitter.com/final_leaderbo….

Thought everyone would be traveling during a pandemic like this. Turned out it's just me. Okay, going to be awkward later when I hop into a Uber in this outfit telling the driver I came from the US.

Last day at Twitter after 9.5 years. Wiped all data on my work laptop. All of a sudden no emails to check, no slack channels to read, no more code reviews, no more calendar events. Life feels weird all of a sudden 😆
